Diego Martínez: "We are facing one of the best teams in the world, and that has to be very motivating for the players, coaching staff, and fans."

We have to be very accurate, and they must not have their best day."

Diego Martínez spoke ahead of the match against FC Barcelona, a team he described as "one of the best in the world. It has to be very motivating and exciting for the players, coaching staff, and fans."

Here are some of his statements:

"The team's attitude is always excellent. It's true that we've had to fight against the tide in many ways. We will feel proud when we look back."

"Pedri is an incredible player, the pure essence of a Canarian footballer. Everyone speaks wonders about him, and he is leaving his mark on the football world."

"The teams I've had the opportunity to coach have won games. As coaches, we help, but the protagonists are the players."

"It feels like a long time since November 30. No one believed in us, but the team played a game to win, deserved it, and also knew how to suffer. That should inspire us, not just for tomorrow's match but for the rest of the season."

"Belief, conviction, and resilience will be key in this phase of the season."

"I don't think there is a team in the world that has a plan to stop Barça. Individually, we wouldn't have a chance against forwards of that caliber. We have to be very strong in duels and also in providing support."

"Resilience is about what is happening, not what has happened. The team has deserved more points in 2025. The reality is that we don’t have them, but we must keep going."

"We know that our dream—securing survival—depends on managing these moments well. We've done it before, coming out of tough situations."
